The TS101 is an ESD-safe soldering iron with an active tip system and is the successor of the well-known TS100. This is a USB/DC5525 powered soldering iron, which has a maximum power output of 90W. This allows the TS101 to reach a temperature of 400°C within 9s. In addition, the soldering iron features a very slim handle and an OLED screen. The iron can be powered with 9 to 24V via the built-in DC5525 connector and 9 to 28V via USB-C. Both connections allow for flexibility in power selection as the TS101 can be powered via a socket or through a power bank.
An anti slip cap is included which also features a quick and easy tip replacement method. The software of the TS101 is open source, so it is easy to make adjustments to it. It is quite easy to create your own temperature curves, or to program a specific response. This soldering iron can also be purchased in a kit, which includes 3 tips and a carrying pouch.
A DC5525 power adaptor is not included but can be purchased seperately with a 72W or 96W power rating.
